CHAPTER ONE
DARK CLOUDS OVER A CLOSED WORLD
LACKING A PLAN FOR EVERYONE
17. To care for the world in which we live means to care for ourselves. Yet we need to think of ourselves more and more as a single family dwelling in a common home. Such care does not interest those economic powers that demand quick profits. Often the voices raised in defence of the environment are silenced or ridiculed, using apparently reasonable arguments that are merely a screen for special interests. In this shallow, short-sighted culture that we have created, bereft of a shared vision, “it is foreseeable that, once certain resources have been depleted, the scene will be set for new wars, albeit under the guise of noble claims”.[12]
We who follow Christ as Christians are called to be the “Light of the world”; yet “a few” of our number have allowed the secular influence to dominate their life and hence their light has dimmed.
Bishop Patrick J. Zurek
As election nears, ‘split’ Catholic voters try to find dialogue amid rancor
maga-catholics in fear, and “under the guise of noble claims,”, judge for others what is right, and bear on all catholics to place their highest allegiance in president trump’s transanctional rule…
comfortable catholics in fear, and “under the guise of noble claims,”, judge for others what is right, and bear on all catholics “to pray tiredly, in a habitual way, to pray like a parrot: blah, blah, blah”…
socialist-catholics in fear, and “under the guise of noble claims,”, judge for others what is right, and bear on all catholics to invest your soul in biden’s personal appeal…
Catholics in LOVE are bearing with one another through LOVE, striving to preserve the unity of the spirit by teaching all Catholics to judge for yourselves what is right and stand in GOD’s holy place giving thanks for “how all of this could exist in one Catholic Church under a roof of people who share a faith, certain principles and teachings,”
Today’s Scriptures
bearing with one another through love,
striving to preserve the unity of the spirit
Eph 4:2-3
R. (see 6) Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.
or who may stand in his holy place?
He whose hands are sinless, whose heart is clean,
who desires not what is vain.
24:3-4
“Why do you not judge for yourselves what is right?”
